Facilitated by Jim Duvall

Consultation groups offer a supportive and generative environment for experienced narrative practitioners seeking to continue expanding their knowledge and skills.

The next consultation group will start on Friday, September 8, 2023 and run for six 3-hour sessions, every 3 weeks.

The narrative philosophy and ethical stance will be clearly addressed while creating abundant space for interactive practice and further skill development. The experience will include advanced theoretical exploration, recorded examples of narrative therapy sessions of internationally recognized practitioners, peer group discussion, reflection on participants’ work including rich retellings of those stories through group definitional ceremony and experiential exercises emphasizing micro-skill development.
